The owner of Ruyi Painting Studio took a sip of osmanthus wine and asked softly.

"Yeah, that makes sense. If we do that, nobody will make any money."

"I have another idea."

Yun Yishu put down the pastries in her hand and continued, "Most people who buy paintings are refined individuals, either for appreciation or for learning."

“We can jointly establish a study group, similar to a private art school, to teach people how to paint.”

"Any customer who buys a painting from the shop can enter the painting class for free by presenting their purchase receipt."

"You can learn it yourself, or you can let your children, relatives and friends learn it."

"Yes, that's a good idea!"

The shopkeeper of Shengjing Painting Studio nodded, his eyes lighting up as he looked at Yun Yishu with delight.

This young man has a lot of ideas!

“I can find a place to study, and I will provide it for free.”

"However... we need to share the cost of inviting you, sir. We can establish a chamber of commerce, and those gathered here today are the founding members. What do you all think?"

"Okay, okay, that's fine."

The owner of Xiangrui Painting Studio clapped his hands in agreement.

"Let's teach Junhe Painting Studio a lesson!"

"Exactly, Junhe Painting Studio is infuriating!"

"Alright, since everyone agrees, Brother Chu, please give the contract to the shopkeepers."

After seeing Chu Dunshi distribute the pre-prepared contracts to the shopkeepers, Yun Yishu continued, "Please sign this contract and press your fingerprints."

"By leaving behind a token on their person, our chamber of commerce will be considered established."

"If we encounter difficulties in the future, we'll face them together and make money together!"

The shopkeepers nodded and signed the contract.

The owner of Feilong Painting Studio left behind the jade pendant he was wearing, and the owner of Ruyi Painting Studio left behind the golden hairpin he was wearing.

The owner of Shengjing Painting Studio left behind a jade thumb ring, the owner of Qifu Painting Studio left behind a gourd he was playing with, and the owner of Xiangrui Painting Studio left behind a pair of earrings.

Chu Dunshi kept the tokens and contracts from each of the shopkeepers, and left after chatting for a while.

...

On this day, Yun Duoduo asked Yun Beiye for permission to leave the palace to visit Prince Rui and his wife at Prince Rui's residence.

"Aunt Xiang, what should we bring when we visit the Empress Dowager?"

Yun Duoduo stroked her chin, deep in thought.

"I'm sure my eldest brother's household has no shortage of gold and jade jewelry."

"If I were to make clothes for my nephew, my needlework wouldn't be presentable."

"Moreover, the Shangyi Bureau's work is definitely much better than what we do in the palace."

Ah Xiang scratched her head, unable to think of anything appropriate to give as a gift.

"Whatever we have in the palace, my eldest brother's residence surely has too. What should we send him?"

Yun Duoduo pondered that her sister-in-law must have been frightened at the banquet during the Hundred Flowers Festival last time.

"How about we send some heart-cleansing pills and pregnancy-preserving pills?"

These things are the most practical.

After making up her mind, Yun Duoduo went to the backyard of Fushuang Palace, found two bottles of Jingxin Pills, and put some medicinal herbs that could be used to prevent miscarriage in a small basket.

"The calming pills prepared by the princess should help Princess Rui calm down."

Ah Xiang nodded in agreement.

After everything was ready, Yun Duoduo put on a beautiful pale yellow dress, and A Xiang carried a basket as the two walked out of the palace.

"Okay, that's about it. Let's go."

"When we pass by the imperial kitchen later, I'll grab some sweet and sour hawthorn cakes. They're so delicious, my sister-in-law will definitely love them!"

"Okay." Ah Xiang nodded.

"Sister Duo, Zhuangzhuang should go too!"

Seeing the two walking outside, Jin Zhuangzhuang shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Okay, let's go together!"

After preparing their things, Ah Xiang and Yun Duoduo took Jin Zhuangzhuang and boarded a carriage to Prince Rui's Mansion.

The trio that used to be together is now missing Sun Huohuo.

Sun Huohuo has been very busy lately. As a meritorious official, Sun Ren's son can be directly granted an official position through hereditary privilege.

However, Sun Ren knew that an official like this would not be respected in the military camp. He wanted Sun Huohuo to get a position in the army, so he took him to the training ground every day to train with the soldiers.

After leaving Fushuang Palace, passing through the Imperial Garden and around the Buddhist Hall, you will arrive at the palace gate.

Upon seeing Princess You Rong's carriage, the guards at the palace gate knelt down to pay their respects. After reviewing the imperial decree, they allowed Yun Duoduo to pass.

...

Along the way, Yun Duoduo listened to the noise of the streets and felt the warmth of everyday life.

"Princess, it's just ahead."

"That's what the driver said."

Yun Duoduo and Jin Zhuangzhuang lifted the curtain and looked out. "Sister Duoduo, it's so lively outside!"

"Yeah, it seems even more lively than when we came out before."

Upon arriving at Prince Rui's residence, Yun Duoduo saw Yun Yibo standing at the entrance.

"Brother!"

"Royal sister, come quickly! We've finally waited for you."

Yun Duoduo ran over, and Yun Yibo picked her up in his arms.

Yesterday, Uncle Yun received news that Yun Duoduo was returning today, so he prepared her favorite food early in the morning.

Jin Zhuangzhuang and A Xiang followed behind, with A Xiang carrying the food box and the basket of medicinal herbs in her hands.

The group walked inside.

"Brother, how is your wife doing lately?"

Since the incident at the last Hundred Flowers Festival, Yun Beiye has ordered the imperial physician to come and take Shangguan Qin'er's pulse every day.

"I wasn't feeling well for the first two days after returning from the palace, but now I'm much better."

"Moreover, the people sent by the Emperor come every day, and the imperial physicians are also helping to treat your sister-in-law's health."

After passing through a garden, we arrived at the residence of Princess Rui, Shangguan Qin'er.

"Qin'er, Duoduo is here."

Yun Yibo lifted the curtain and called out.

Shangguan Qin'er sat on the soft couch, listlessly leaning to one side, and smiled at Yun Duoduo.

"Sister-in-law, this is a calming pill for you."

"And this is hawthorn cake."

Yun Duoduo took the things out of the basket.

"Thank you for your trouble, Your Highness."

"Well, what you're saying, sister-in-law, isn't just idle talk."

"There's no need to be so polite."

Shangguan Qin'er picked up a piece of hawthorn cake, about to put it in her mouth, when she suddenly asked, "Is this Heart-Cleansing Pill and hawthorn cake just for me, or do others get them too?"

Yun Duoduo was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "The eldest princess is one of a kind!"

"Hmm, if everyone else had it, I... I, the princess consort, wouldn't even want it!"

"Qin'er, you..."

Yun Yibo was displeased and wanted to tell Shangguan Qin'er to watch her words, but the pregnant woman had the final say. With just one look from Shangguan Qin'er, Yun Yibo shut his mouth.

Ah Xiang found these words rather harsh.

[This Princess Rui, how come she's so ungrateful?]

Yun Duoduo didn't seem to care.

She gently touched Princess Rui's belly and whispered, "You have to be good, okay? Don't kick your mother."

"My dear nephew, did you hear what your aunt said?"

"How does my royal sister know whether it's a boy or a girl inside?"

Yun Yibo looked at her with amusement.

"Maybe it's a niece!"
